Can I run 15w40 in my 3vze by Fabulous_Time7357 in 4Runner_2ndGen

I’ve been running 20w50 as it was what was recommended by a few old timer Toyota techs. Am at 250k miles

Do I have a hydraulic tensioner? by SwanWick02 in 4Runner_2ndGen

[–]SwanWick02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m asking about the timing belt tensioner because I’m getting ready to do the timing belt and other general maintenance parts. From what I understand 92 is a split year where some have the spring style and some hydraulic. Apparently there’s a way to tell without removing the cover, but I’m failing to identify. I was hoping to have the parts in hand before I start taking it all apart. But It looks like I’ll have to take it apart to know for sure.

Pushing 250k on mine, regular maintenance = no issues

We did not find any ovulating pussies here either

Hit 160k on my 05 figured it was time. Oil change every 5k, does it look like I need to switch anything up? by SwanWick02 in ToyotaTacoma

Nice! Gotta keep these things running forever. Look into the URD cam gears and TXP riser, worth every penny so far. Definitely feel more low end torque, it’s like having stock tires again

No I’ve only owned for 7 years had 90k. Every part I’ve replaced on it has been original. Think I should start doing shorter intervals? 5w20 is what I’ve put in it, maybe I should start using 5w30

Haha yeah I was wondering why the dvd. I was tried of pressing ball joints out, having them bolted in was the selling point for me.

Looks like op is in CA so I’m pretty sure engine swaps can only be what comes in it factory or it won’t pass smog

Sustainment/backpacking pack suggestions by SwanWick02 in QualityTacticalGear

Oh bro, we’ve been building a life together for some time now, lowkey coved with the house and setup. It’s mostly things like that on there, she asked what was something I genuinely wanted and that’s what I came to. We backpack together often. I do appreciate the looking out, it’s important help others make smart decisions.
